Posted by David Fairthorne on Tue Mar 15 13:02:52 2005, in response to Re: London news, posted by Fytton on Tue Mar 15 08:01:23 2005. An experimental eight-car double-decker train (the two 4-DD units) ran on the Southern Electric system in the 1950s.There were too many people per door, which increased dwell times, so they lengthened the platforms for 10 cars instead. The South Western differs from the South Eastern in that (a) there are fewer overhead obstructions, and (b) platform lengthening would be difficult at Waterloo. |
